On Thursday 16 June, Sutton Music Service brought together 600 of Sutton's youngest musicians at Fairfield Halls, Croydon for their KS2 Instrumental Festival. This annual celebration of the London Borough of Sutton's highly successful First Access programme, saw children from 17 different primary schools that participate in Whole Class Ensemble Tuition, perform to a sell-out crowd of over 1200. This year was particularly poignant, as this was one of the last concerts to take place at Fairfield Halls before it closes in a few weeks.

Formed in spring 1993, the band achieved widespread recognition in an unusually short time, playing venues the length and breadth of Britain. Members of Madness have joined the One Step boys on stage on a number of occasions. The greatest tribute came from Suggs himself. At a gig at G-MEX in Manchester he walked up to the microphone and said “By the way, we’re MADNESS not One Step Behind!!” The subsequent review in the Melody Maker bared the headline “One Step Behind”.
One Step Behind has also appeared on television a number of times. Singer Ian Soulsby made an appearance on “Stars In Their Eyes” in the 1990s while the whole band appeared on children’s Saturday morning show SMTV in 1998 performing their version of “Driving In My Car”. One Step Behind also featured on the “Tribute Band Night” programme, filmed at Rotterdams Ahoy Arena and broadcast on Dutch TV in 2004.
